Golf: Wilkinson leads in Oregon

New Zealand golfer Tim Wilkinson has the chance to right a wrong in the final round of the Oregon Classic in the United States today.

He shares the third-round lead with American Ricky Barnes after posting a five-under 67 in the second tier Nationwide Tour event yesterday.

He was in a similar position last year when heavy rain forced officials to cancel the final round.

Wilkinson and Barnes shared the lead in the $US450,000 ($688,920) tournament on 13-under 203, one shot ahead of American Cliff Kresqe.
